As with most towns, natural water is always a big attraction. Cuenca doesn�t have a big lake nor is it a seaside resort but it does have a swiftly running river that is a great respite from the city center though it�s only a few steps away. Literally, you have to go down some steps to get to it but its well worth the effort. It feels like you�re not even in the city anymore and is a great place to relax. It�s what the locals do, you should try it too.

Gili_S Fri Mar 28, 2008 22:03 UTC Excellent page. I just wonder where do you have the space to stuff all that delicious food? ;-)	Trekki Sat Mar 22, 2008 20:35 UTC Wow, Cuenca looks very lovely!! Theplaza and these marvellous wooden balconies :-) And this one house you have for the pack list! Haha, I must come one day, just for the yoghurt drink :-)) And the empanadas :-))
Bwana_Brown Fri Mar 21, 2008 02:40 UTC A very enjoyable page Richie! Thanks for making it seem like I was there too, walking around with the two of you. Your Restaurant tips had my mouth watering! Good work with that hitch-hike ride into town too - something I've not done for a few decades!	toonsarah Thu Mar 20, 2008 13:26 UTC Yet another great Ecuador page to whet my appetite, tho' it's not clear yet whether we'll make it this far :( The guesthouse, bars & restaurants all look lovely, and I enjoyed the subtle "America" allusion :)
